Direct Emigrant vs. OEP Agency: Key Process Differences
You arranged your employment directly (e.g. visa sent by a relative abroad, direct company hire, or online platform). You handle the e-Protector submission yourself and pay the exact Rs. 9,200 government fee. No recruitment service charges apply.
You were hired through a licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP). The agency is legally mandated to process your Protector clearance through their agency portal. By law, OEP service charges are capped by the government, and the agency must issue an official BEOE receipt.
Trust & Scam Protection: How to Verify Recruiting Agents (OEPs)
Fraudulent visa agents and unregistered sub-agents are a serious risk for overseas job seekers. Before paying any money or submitting original passports, follow these official verification checks:
Search the agency name at beoe.gov.pk/oep-search. Verify that their government license is "Active / Valid" and not suspended or cancelled.
Check beoe.gov.pk/foreign-jobs to ensure the specific job vacancy and foreign employer quota are officially approved by the Protectorate of Emigrants.
Only deal with the principal license holder at their registered corporate office. Never make cash payments to informal middlemen or social media visa sellers.
